What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to numerically analyse the influence of the surface layer on the mechanical properties in a follow-up screw-rod kinematic pair in Growth Guidance Stabilization System. In addition, the polymer insert on the sliding part of the support rod, which is designed to eliminate frictional wear effects, was also analysed. Numerical simulations were carried out by loading the model with short-term repeated load tests to represent the operation of the stabilizer under near-real conditions. Analysis of the reduced stresses according to the Huber - von Mises hypothesis of the cooperating elements, i.e. the rod and the sliding screw cap, showed a point concentration of stresses. In the pairs covered with the additional coating, the maximum stress values do not exceed 4 MPa on both mentioned elements and are similar in all analysed configurations. The modification of the geometry in the form of an additional insert resulted in a different stress distribution, with the maximum values observed at the insert being around 10 MPa. The numerical simulations carried out showed areas of stress concentration at locations that may be indicative of frictional wear occurring. The design modification changed the stress distribution on the mating components, which may be preferable to point contact in standard kinematic pairs. The stress values in the coated models are similar to each other, suggesting that the choice of a particular coating does not significantly affect the mechanical performance, but nevertheless the presence of the coating is crucial.
